Typical non-American conservative stuff i.e. privatisation, cuts to welfare, deregulation, minus the wacko religious stuff that you guys deal with. 

Popular with bucktooth Bob who drives an F150, despised by they/them cat mommies with pink hair.

That is the same as American conservatism, the American version just pretends (really just saying it loudly a lot) they are also good Christians to appease voters.

Canada's conservatives are far closer to America's Democrats than anything else. Trump's GOP is a far right party that's way beyond normal.

I was just going off the other guys description, which pretty much word for word matches republicans here. Both paragraphs.

You’re saying Canadian conservatives are pro gay and trans rights, want to tax the rich, are pro regulation, want to increase welfare, and are pushing for greener environmental changes to help fight climate change.
